A New York judge has delayed Donald Trump’s scheduled sentencing as his attorneys continue to push for his conviction to be tossed out. Trump originally was going to appear in court for sentencing on November 26.

He was convicted on 34 felony fraud counts in May.

According to the BBC, his attorneys argue his conviction should be thrown out on the grounds of presidential immunity, and because it would interfere with his duties as president. The Manhattan district attorney, who prosecuted Trump, plans to oppose that effort but has suggested to the judge that sentencing the president-elect wait until after his second term in office.

Justice Juan Merchan has paused all proceedings until he hears briefs from both parties, which are due in December. Justice Merchan did not order a new date for Trump’s sentencing and stayed the matter until he hears from lawyers.

But the court is now up against a ticking clock to decide what to do, as Trump’s inauguration in late January grows ever closer. In May, a New York jury found Trump guilty on dozens of counts of falsifying business records.

The charges stemmed from Trump’s efforts to disguise reimbursements to his personal lawyer, who had made a hush-money payment to an adult film star to silence her claims of a sexual encounter with Trump.

Prosecutors successfully argued that the payoff, which happened just days before the 2016 election, was tantamount to election interference because it kept potentially damaging allegations from voters.
